Cell Death Flashcards
1) energy dependent process that results in the death of SINGLE, isolated cell within a tissue or an organ
2) suicide gene
3) engulfed by macrophage
Apoptosis
Physiologic or Pathologic: plays an important role in the formation of many body parts (embryogenesis)
Physiologic
1) a physiologic apoptosis where fetal limbs buds
Syndactyly (fingers)
Lumen of esophagus and intestines is close/open due to apoptosis
Atresia
1) physiologic apoptosis
2) closes the ampulla of vater
Biliary atresia (cause Jaundice with hepatomalegomy)
Consequences of endogenous intracellular events or exogenous stimuli
Pathologic apoptosis
3 example of Pathologic apoptosis
1) transplanted organ
2) viral infection
3) muscular dystrophy
1) viral infection
2) attacks the hepatocytes
3) chronic disease
4) can also cause hepatitis D
5) hepatocarcinoma
Hepatitis B
1) a Pathologic apoptosis
2) lacks protein that undergo apoptosis
3) a genetic disorder
4) affects the muscles
Muscular dystrophy
Lack of apoptosis causes (2)
1) atresia
2) chronic lymocytic leukemia or lymphoma
1) lymphocytes forget to die
2) can result to lymphose mic leukemia
3) its morphology is chromatin condensation and fragmentation
Proapoptotic of BCL2 mutation
Results in destruction of many contiguous parenchymal cells and may involve the entire tissue organ
Necrosis
Forms of necrosis (5)
1) coagulative necrosis
2) liquefactive necrosis
3) fat necrosis
4) dystrophic calcification
5) metastatic calcification
1) most common form of necrosis
2) marked by rapid inactivation of cytoplasmic hydrolytic enzyme
3) affect solid organs
4) ischemia
Coagulative necrosis
1) due to arterial occlusion
2) a coagulative necrosis
Ischemic necrosis
Give 3 affected solid organs in coagulative necrosis
Heart
Liver
Kidney
T or F: protein desaturation is prominent in coagulative necrosis
True
T or F: there is HYPER eosinophilia of the cytoplasm and DECREASED basophilia of the nucleus in coagulative necrosis
True
1) characterized by dissolution of soft tissues
2) occurs most often in the brain - typical of brain infract
3) associated with coagulative necrosis
Liquefactive necrosis
